The Huayra is named after Huayra-tata, which means “God of the winds” in Quechua, the official language of the Inca Empire. This amazing machine is very fitting of such a grand name because the lines and curves really do look majestic when the vehicle is in motion. Pagani Huayra Commercial:
The Huayra is equipped with bespoke Brembo brake calipers, rotors and pads. The calipers have six pistons in front and four in the rear. The rotors are drilled carbon ceramic, 380 mm (15.0 in) in diameter and 34 mm (1.3 in) thick.[5] There are also four independent flaps which can act as air brakes or produce downforce.
